Equine Nutrition Advisor dedicated to helping your horse thrive
I didn’t start studying equine nutrition because I was searching for a career path. My journey began because I wanted answers for my own horse—for his muscles, his joints, his performance, and his future. I wanted to know I was making the best decisions possible, and that pursuit of knowledge ultimately became a profession.
Today, I believe every horse, senior companion, weekend trail partner, elite athlete, or metabolic rehab case, deserves nutrition that supports long-term health and quality of life.
With a master’s degree in Exercise Science, I developed a deep appreciation for the role nutrition plays in performance, recovery, and longevity. These same foundational principles led me to pursue advanced education in equine nutrition, earning credentials as a Professional Animal Scientist (PAS), Level III Equine Nutrition Advisor, and NFTA Certified Forage Sampler.
Combining scientific knowledge with practical application, and often working as a team with barn managers and veterinarians, I help horse owners navigate the often-confusing world of feeds, supplements, forage, and nutrition management with confidence.
My mission is simple: help horse owners understand what their horses truly need and create practical nutrition plans that deliver measurable results. Every recommendation is evidence-based, independent, and tailored to the individual horse. Whether you're feeding for performance, managing a health condition, or simply seeking peace of mind, my goal is to help you stop guessing and start seeing results.
